History

Several existing smaller steelworks combined and were incorporated as the Steel Company of Canada in 1910.[1] Charles S. Wilcox was the first president of Iron and Steel Company of Canada, (later called simply Stelco), which was formed from five companies:

  • Canada Screw Company - 1864 Dundas, Ontario
  • Hamilton Steel and Iron Company - 1861 Hamilton, Ontario
  • Montreal Rolling Mills - 1790s Montreal, Quebec
  • Dominion Wire Manufacturing Company - Lachine, Quebec
  • Canada Bolt and Nut Company - Swansea, Ontario

Hamilton Steel and Iron Company and The Canada Screw Company were founded before 1867 and Montreal Rolling Mills predates to the 1790s by businessman John Bigelow.


Canada Screw Company was founded in 1864 in Dundas, Ontario by J. P. Billington and T. Forsyth and later moved to Hamilton.
